Salt and pepper to season
1/2 cup Korean BBQ Sauce link to recipe

Instructions

Preheat the grill to 400° F on one side, setting the other side to medium heat. If using charcoal, spread evenly on one-half of the grill.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
When the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grill, skin side down to get a good sear. Cook for 5 minutes on the hot side of the grill. Once you have a good sear on one side, turn the chicken over and move them to the cooler side of the grill. Turn the heat down to 300° F.
Close the cover of the grill and continue cooking on indirect heat for 20 minutes.
Baste the chicken with the sauce and then turn over and baste the other side. Cook for 2-3 minutes longer on each side, until a meat thermometer registers 170° F (160° F if you’re cooking breasts).
If any smaller pieces are done early, place them on the holding rack at the top of the BBQ until the other pieces are done.
Baste again with BBQ sauce before serving.
